Whispering Blooms, Photos of Poundbury by Jack Orton

Whispering Blooms, the photographer's own site

"This series aims to explore the lives of the older generation in the 21st century, nostalgia and the strong symbolic relationship that we have with flowers".


About Jack Orton and "Whispering Blooms" -  Jack Orton’s oblique take on architecture and the built environment, British Journal of Photography Online

"For Whispering Blooms he ventured to Poundbury, a small, experimental village in Dorset planned by the Prince of Wales in an eclectic patchwork of traditional architectural styles. Described as a “Brexit bubble” by its residents, Orton focused on the older generation living there and their attachment to flowers".


A nostalgic "Brexit bubble"? Not my perception of  Poundbury.

I think the photograph with the Union Jack flag is the most telling (no. 18 out of 21) as a composition (triangles and diagonals), and in terms of semiotics.
